Chapter 77 How much money does Zhang Han actually have?
The next morning.
Sunlight filtered through the gaps in the heavy curtains, casting a golden band of light across the floor.
Zhang Han woke up naturally from his sleep and stretched out comfortably.
He felt refreshed and invigorated.
His entire body was brimming with energy.
Ever since he acquired the Hundredfold Rebate System, it seemed even his sleep quality had improved by several levels.
Perhaps this was what they meant by "wealth nourishes a person."
Today was an important day.
—Lin Yuxin was coming back.
He checked the time; it was neither too early nor too late, just enough time for him to leisurely wash up and have breakfast.
Then, he would head to the airport to pick her up, feeling full of energy.
Thinking of Lin Yuxin, a smile couldn't help but tug at the corners of Zhang Han's mouth.
It had been quite a while, and he really missed this mature, intellectual, and slightly stubborn little girlfriend of his.
More importantly.
Spending money on her not only made her happy, but he also received a hundredfold rebate.
This kind of win-win happiness was simply addictive.
He carefully selected an outfit that looked casual but was actually quite expensive, then drove off in that black mercedes-benz g-wagon.
Like a low-key yet fierce beast, it merged into the city's traffic.
Heading in the direction of the airport.
The airport arrival hall was bustling with people.
Zhang Han easily spotted Lin Yuxin in the crowd, dragging her suitcase.
Today, she was wearing an off-white trench coat, paired with a light gray knit sweater and jeans underneath.
It was simple and elegant, yet it couldn't hide her outstanding temperament and beautiful figure.
After a few days apart, she seemed to have lost a little weight.
But her eyes were much brighter than when she left; it seemed the troublesome matters with her best friend had mostly been resolved.
When Lin Yuxin saw Zhang Han leaning against the eye-catching mercedes-benz g-wagon door, she was noticeably stunned.
She walked over quickly, her beautiful eyes full of surprise.
She looked up and down at the rugged, powerful off-road vehicle.
"Zhang Han... this car?"
Lin Yuxin pointed at the mercedes-benz g-wagon, her tone filled with disbelief.
"Did you buy this new?"
"Yeah, just a means of transportation."
Zhang Han smiled easily and stepped forward to naturally take her suitcase.
He opened the trunk and put it inside.
The trunk space was spacious, more than enough for a suitcase.
Lin Yuxin followed him and sat in the passenger seat, feeling the luxurious interior and the commanding view from inside the car.
She still hadn't quite collected herself.
"This is a mercedes-benz g-wagon... I remember the base model costs at least one or two million, right?"
"Is your... your startup project really that profitable?"
She remembered that Zhang Han was previously just an ordinary programmer.
Although he seemed to have had incredible luck recently.
It seemed to be some popular internet industry where he made a little money, which Zhang Han had vaguely mentioned before.
He even bought her a house.
But getting such a top-tier luxury car so quickly was still far beyond her imagination.
This was no longer the concept of "making a little money."
This was simply explosive wealth growth!
Zhang Han expertly started the car and smoothly drove out of the airport.
While explaining with the excuse he had already thought of.
"Don't worry, it's all legal income. I've just been lucky, and my recent investment returns have been good."
"You don't need to worry about money. Right now, I can't say much else, but I do have some money."
He said it nonchalantly.
But the confidence and sense of "being loaded" radiating from within him left Lin Yuxin even more shocked.
She looked at Zhang Han's profile as he focused on driving.
That face, which she had originally found familiar and intimate, now seemed to be veiled in a mysterious aura.
"Just how much money does he have..."
Lin Yuxin couldn't help but mutter to herself.
Buying a house like buying cabbage, not even blinking at buying a multi-million luxury car...
This definitely couldn't be explained by an ordinary family or simple stock trading.
Could it be that Zhang Han is actually a hidden super rich second generation?
And was just keeping a low profile to experience life before?
Various guesses swirled in her mind.
But seeing that Zhang Han didn't want to talk much more about it, she thoughtfully didn't press further.
As long as the money was earned legitimately, he would naturally talk about it when he was ready.
...
Returning to Zhang Han's place.
The passion of a small separation being better than a newlywed reunion naturally needs no further description.
After some intimacy, the two leaned against the headboard, embracing and enjoying the post-coital tenderness.
Lin Yuxin's cheeks were still flushed as she snuggled in Zhang Han's arms.
Her fingers were unconsciously drawing circles on Zhang Han's chest.
Softly speaking of her longing these past few days and some trivial family matters.
Zhang Han listened patiently, responding every now and then, the atmosphere warm and sweet.
As they chatted, the topic returned to Zhang Han's "startup."
Lin Yuxin was still a bit worried.
"Zhang Han, your startup is just getting started, there must be many places where you need money. You spent quite a lot on the house and car, right?"
"If you are tight on funds, you must tell me. Although I don't have much savings, I can help out a little."
Zhang Han felt a warmth in his heart, hugged her shoulders tighter, and said vaguely.
"Really, don't worry. The project is progressing quite smoothly, and the cash flow is fine."
"You, just relax and be my woman, and enjoy yourself."
Seeing Zhang Han speak so definitively.
Lin Yuxin assumed that perhaps the initial investment was large but the returns were promising, so she set her mind at ease.
She turned to talk excitedly about her longing for the future.
In the afternoon.
The two had a romantic lunch together.
Afterward, Zhang Han took Lin Yuxin to the luxury residential complex where he had previously bought a property and transferred the deed to her name.
Standing once again in the spacious, unfinished space, Lin Yuxin's eyes were filled with anticipation for the future.
Sunlight streamed in through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, illuminating the entire living room.
"Zhang Han, let's discuss the renovation!"
Lin Yuxin excitedly held Zhang Han's hand, moving through the various rooms, explaining her ideas.
"Here, I want to make an open kitchen with an island in the middle so we can cook together in the future!"
"For the living room walls, let's use warm gray art paint, paired with wood-colored flooring; it will look cozy..."
"For the master bedroom closet, I want to make it an entire wall; your suits and my dresses must have a place to be stored..."
"We can put a rocking chair here on the balcony, and on weekends, we can soak up the sun and read here..."
She described it in great detail, her eyes shining brightly.
As if she had already seen the beautiful picture of living in this home in the future.
Zhang Han watched her gesturing in the empty house, her face radiant with happiness, and felt exceptionally satisfied himself.
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
Zhang Han nodded dotingly.
"Use whatever style you like. Find the best designers, use the best materials, and I'll pay for it."
However.
Lin Yuxin firmly shook her head.
"No, I'll pay for the renovation."
Zhang Han was stunned.
"Why? This is the house I gifted you, so I should naturally be responsible for the renovation."
Lin Yuxin turned around, looking at Zhang Han seriously, her tone gentle yet firm.
"Zhang Han, I know you have money and you are very good to me."
"But for this house, you put my name on it; that has already moved me, but also made me uneasy."
"If you are also solely responsible for the renovation, then this home feels like just a gift you bestowed upon me... rather than a 'home' that the two of us operate and own together."
She paused, then continued.
"A home is something that needs two people to contribute their heart's blood and effort to become warm."
"The money I pay for the renovation might not compare to the money you spent on the house, but this is my gesture."
"It is my investment and anticipation for our future home."
"I want every brick and tile, every table and chair, to have our shared imprint."
"Only then will I feel secure living here, feeling that this is our home, rather than just a residence where I am dependent on you."
Listening to these heartfelt words from Lin Yuxin, Zhang Han's heart was deeply touched.
He had originally just wanted to get rebates by spending money and incidentally appease his girlfriend.
But he hadn't expected Lin Yuxin to see things so far ahead, and for her understanding of "home" to be so pure and serious.
She did not covet his wealth.
Instead, she valued the equal contribution and joint construction between the two of them even more.
This was simply the chosen candidate for a wife!
Sensible, independent, not materialistic, and so beautiful!
Zhang Han was moved beyond words for a moment and couldn't help but pull her tightly into his arms.
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
Zhang Han's voice was a bit hoarse.
"You pay for the renovation, but the budget cannot be too low. Don't wrong yourself."
"If you don't have enough money, you must tell me."
"I know!"
Lin Yuxin smiled happily and hugged him back.
"I will plan it well and make our little home cozy and practical!"
...
Coming out of the new house, Zhang Han was still marveling at Lin Yuxin's sensibility.
Since she wouldn't let him pay for the renovation, he had to spend some money on her elsewhere, right?
Otherwise, wouldn't the function of this Hundredfold Rebate Baby be wasted?
Besides, he truly wanted to give her better things.
"If you won't let me pay for the renovation, then letting me buy you a commuter car is okay, right?"
Zhang Han said while driving.
"It'll be convenient for you to have a car for commuting or going shopping in the future."
Lin Yuxin had wanted to refuse again.
But seeing Zhang Han's unquestionable gaze, and thinking that having a car was indeed much more convenient.
She hesitated and nodded.
"Then... okay. But you don't need to buy one that's too good."
"An ordinary commuter car is fine; I think one around 100,000 is quite good."
Upon hearing this, a mysterious smile tugged at the corners of Zhang Han's mouth.
"How can an ordinary one do? With a woman of mine, Zhang Han, how can her ride be sloppy?"
"I'll take you to a good place."
After saying that.
He turned the steering wheel, and the car headed toward the city's most luxurious auto mall.
When Zhang Han parked the car in front of a Maserati 4S dealership that was decorated with extreme luxury and had a trident logo at the entrance.
Lin Yuxin was completely stunned.
"Zhang... Zhang Han, why are we here?"
Lin Yuxin looked at those luxury cars in the showroom, shining under the lights, with elegant and smooth designs, and price tags with frighteningly long numbers.
She felt like her brain couldn't quite process it.
Maserati!
This is a world-famous top-tier luxury car brand!
"To buy you a car."
Zhang Han said it as a matter of course, unbuckled his seatbelt, and signaled for her to get out of the car.
"But... but I said a commuter car..."
"Not a luxury car like this!"
Lin Yuxin was pulled into the showroom by Zhang Han, feeling her steps a bit unsteady.
The showroom was shiny and mirror-like.
The air was filled with the unique smell of new cars and a faint fragrance.
A sales consultant with appropriate attire and exquisite makeup smiled and walked up to them.
All of this made Lin Yuxin feel like she was in a dream, very unreal.
"Good afternoon, madam, sir, welcome to the Maserati 4S dealership."
The sales consultant greeted them politely.
Her gaze lingered for a moment on Zhang Han's wrist, on that unremarkable watch that anyone in the know could recognize at a glance as a Richard Mille.
Her attitude became even more respectful.
Lin Yuxin looked at the dazzling array of luxury cars before her.
—The elegant Ghibli sedan.
—The imposing Levante SUV.
—And the even cooler-looking MC20 sports car...
The price of every single one was enough to make her struggle for a lifetime.
She felt her head buzzing; her previous guesses about Zhang Han's financial resources were once again overturned.
This was no longer just the level of a rich second generation who had "a little money."
Being able to casually bring his girlfriend to Maserati to buy a car, this financial power... was unfathomable!
Zhang Han looked at the cars in the showroom with great interest.
He was just about to have the sales consultant focus on introducing models suitable for women to drive, such as the Ghibli or Levante.
However.
Lin Yuxin firmly grabbed his arm again and shook her head.
Although her voice wasn't loud, it was exceptionally clear.
"Zhang Han, I don't want... this car."
